  "summary": "Dependency Injection is a software design pattern where components receive external resources they need to function from the outside instead of creating them internally. This approach makes code more flexible, reusable, and easier to modify. To illustrate, consider a hybrid car analogy: if a car's battery is permanently soldered to its frame, changing it becomes a complex task. Instead, manufacturers design a standardized battery compartment with a universal plug, allowing easy battery replacement without dismantling the entire vehicle. In software engineering, tight coupling often leads to technical debt and broken deployments. Dependency Injection mitigates these issues by enabling testing in isolation and facilitating business requirement pivots, such as switching payment processors, with minimal impact on the core codebase.",
